“I found Rome of clay; I leave it to you of marble.” Octavius Gaius or rather better known as Roman Emperor Augustus Caesar left his deathbed with these words. Surely enough, Octavius left a footprint in history as a successful leader who controlled one of the largest empires in history—a man worshipped as a god. His Empire stood for surmountable amount of time until its fall of the Byzantine Empire.
iocletian delegated further on 1 March 293, appointing Galerius and Constantius as Caesars, junior co-emperors. Under this 'tetrarchy', or "rule of four", each emperor would rule over a quarter-division of the empire. Diocletian secured the empire's borders and purged it of all threats to his power. He defeated the Sarmatians and Carpi during several campaigns between 285 and 299, the Alamanni in 288, and usurpers in Egypt between 297 and 298. Galerius, aided by Diocletian, campaigned successfully against Sassanid Persia, the empire's traditional enemy.
To understand in depth the above-mentioned arguments the Sestercius of Octavian issued in 40 BCE will be analyzed. For Augustus, the use of coinage as a means of persuasion and manipulation of the public opinion was not new idea. He was ultimately aware of the means that his father used in his own propaganda and followed his example. The effect of coins was used by Augustus early in his political career and more precisely right after the death of his adoptive father, Julius. Octavian didn’t lose any time and started to promote himself by linking his name with his father’s.
Rome was a city that inspired people in more ways that not. " Rome fell but its legacy lived on." After the Eastern Roman Empire fell in 1453 A.D., people wanted to mimic their legacies because it gave them dignity and nobility. A legacy is "the mark that that you leave that you're remembered for."

We must strike now Cassius! Octavius’s and Antony’s army are probably growing stronger by the minute, we are an open target we must strike before they do. We are prey, they are hungry for revenge, We did not kill Caesar so we may be imprisoned by Antony, we killed him because we anted to protect Rome, But I think all you want to do is defend yourself you petty man. If we can catch Octavius and Antony off guard so we have a better chance of taking Rome so we may fulfill our plan. Cassius brother please go a long with the plan or we may die, our fellow brothers are willing to do anything for us, I said to Cassius.
"Amphitryon" is a comedic play written by Titus Maccius Plautus, likely addressed simply to the public Roman audiences due to its inherent qualities as a comedy. In writing the play, Plautus was likely responding to ideas he heard in Roman mythology about how the birth of Heracles went about, and he seemed to agree with them as he followed the traditional plot of the hero 's birth (with some minor exceptions, such as changing the birth itself from a laborious process to one that is completely painless). Having inferred the aforementioned ideas, the motivation behind Plautus writing this piece was likely to share the story of Heracles 's birth to the common people through a medium that they would understand and enjoy: a lighthearted
Julius Caesar, Chronological(Juluis ceaser) You can thank me for the month of June as it was named after me. I was born in 100 BC in the city of Rome.

I wanted to be noticed from the crowd of other young aristocrats, so I wore my toga with a belt and my hair was always perfectly combed and cut.

The difference between a normal hero and a tragic hero is that the latter will have a tragic flaw that keeps them from succeeding. These characters are often sympathetic and will cleave to the reader's pity. Firstly, we shall discuss Cassius. He was a man of questionable character.
Did you know that around 46% of people’s favorite superhero is Spider-Man? That is a lot of people compared to how many comic characters there are, especially in today’s popular culture. Today we constantly hear stories about superheroes all of the time in pop culture, and in ancient Rome they also had stories about incredible people. Mucius Scaevola is one of these incredible people with a heroic story that changed the course of Roman history. Scaevola, a young roman sent on a mission, mistook the Estruscan king’s scribe for the king and killed him.
An example of an Aristotelian Theatre character is be Roy M. Cohn from Angels In America. An example of a Curious Theatre character is Wordsworth from The Appeal. The two theatrical approaches to characters are very different. Although both authors use real people and real events or circumstance as a base for their own creation, Aristotelian and Curious Theatre build their character differently and for different purposes. The audience are able to witness Roy’s character development and he is there to contribute to the plot of the play.
Shakespeare praises Octavius Caesar's wisdom and patience in his dealing with circumstances and he does not rush to the conclusion. Shakespeare's Octavius listens carefully then he thinks and decides the best, unlike his rival, Antony, who asks only for a summary. Shakespeare creates a comparison between Antony and Octavius Caesar in which he views Octavius as the one who is wise and who listens carefully to the news that come from the messengers (I. iv. 40 – 45), unlike Antony who only seeks for summaries and he is out of patience to hear the whole story or to hear the messenger to the end (I. i. 18 – 20).
Would you rather feel the pain of an object hitting you, or feel the devastation of getting told harmful things by others? For most people, it is a lot easier to tolerate physical pain than to accept the mental pain that comes with hurtful words or phrases. “There are no weapons stronger than words. They hit faster than a speeding bullet, with more force than a battering ram, and never fail to hit the heart” -Unknown. This shows the true pain of how bad words can damage you.
